The movie was officially greenlit by Nu Image/Millenium Films in September 2009 and initially Stallone said the movie was to be entitled Rambo V: The Savage Hunt and have a more sci-fi theme involving Rambo hunting a feral beast. In November 2009 Stallone confirmed this was not the case and that Rambo V will be based on Rambo searching for women who disappear in a town over the border, possibly Mexico.[24]
